85 grain Sierra SP Varminter, not the BTHP. BTHP too tough for my liking.
100 grain Sierra Gameking or a Nosler 95 grain Partition.
Not really a nickles difference in the 3.
My next kill with my 6mm will be with a 90 grain Ballistic Tip.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Lots of good advice already.
For me, I’ve had success with the following: 95 gr NBT - this is one tough bullet and “hog approved” also. 100 gr Interlock 100 gr Sierra Gameking
I couldn’t get the 80 gr TTSX to shoot worth a darn, and given the prices/ perceived performance improvement vs the others I abandoned future attempts to make these work.

You guys that use interlocks, flat base or boat tails?
Does it make a difference?
I ask because both are readily available. I've had good luck with flat base interlocks in my 308.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

They don’t make a 100gr flat base in .243 anymore.
With that said, I’ve had better accuracy luck with flat base than boat tail in 30-06, but only marginally. Also .277 130 flat base shoot great and not available in bt in 130 gr, but in 140 gr.
